INTRODUCTION 


to 


Catalogue  Issued  in  1877 


The  person  who  made  the  collection  of  ancient  and  modern 
coins  and  medals  in  the  cases  numbered  from  one  to  twenty- 
eight  inclusive,  in  the  following  catalogue,  is  Dr.  Charles 
Spiers,  a  resident  of  California  since  1849,  and  recently  elected 
a  member  of  the  Society  of  CaUfornia  Pioneers.  He  is  now  in 
his  seventy-seventh  year,  and  has  been  a  coin  collector  since  he 
was  fourteen  years  of  age.  With  him  it  has  been  a  labor  of 
love.  He  was  born  and  reared  in  Mrginia,  and  from  his  boy- 
hood has  taken  a  deep  interest  in  the  collection  of  rare  and 
curious  coins.  Whenever  a  specimen  came  into  his  hands  it 
incited  a  desire  to  study  the  history  of  the  period  and  visit  the 
country  where  it  was  coined.  In  pursuit  of  this  pleasure  he  has 
visited,  in  the  last  forty  j^ears,  nearly  all  the  European  govern- 
ments, and  also  China,  Japan,  Australia,  Central  and  South 
America — in  fact,  almost  every  country  which  can  boast  of  a 
metallic  currency  as  a  representative  of  its  civilization. 

We  know  that  coins  have  been  for  nearly  three  thousand 
years  the  representatives  of  certain  values  and  the  medium  of 
exchange  between  different  nations;  that  medals,  for  the  same 
length  of  time,  have  been  the  emblems  issued  by  different  gov- 
ernments and  various  authorities,  to  commemorate  some  impor- 
tant event  in  history  or  to  ennoble  and  perpetuate  acts  of  daring, 
courage  and  humanity.  The  study  of  these  coins  and  medals  is 
the  study  of  ancient  and  modern  history.  They  bring  us  in 
contact  with  the  prominent  rulers  of  the  world,  and  show  us  the 
rise  and  fall  of  kingdoms  and  empires,  of  liberal  and  despotic 
governments,  in  the  progress  of  numismatic  science.  Hence  the 
Doctor  has  become  not   only  an  extensive  traveler,  in  the

4  INTRODUCTION 

pursuit  of  rare  and  curious  coins,  but  also  an  exact  historian; 
and  in  these  silent  metallic  emblems  he  cannot  only  scan  the 
present,  but 

"Read  the  long  records  of  a  distant  age." 

Like  all  men  who  make  some  subject  a  specialty  of  their 
lives,  Doctor  Spiers  is  an  enthusiast  upon  this  subject  of  speci- 
men coin  collection,  and,  from  having  been  so  long  engaged 
in  it,  has  grown  to  be  an  unsurpassed  expert.  Thus  we  have 
surety  that  every  coin  mentioned  in  this  catalogue  is  just  as 
represented.     They  were  not  collected  for  sale  or  speculation. 

In  addition  to  the  European  and  American  coinage  of  inter- 
mediate and  modern  civilization,  are  specimens  of  ancient  Phoe- 
nicia, Persia,  Assyria,  Greece,  Egypt,  Judea,  Rome,  Carthage, 
of  the  Saracenic  empire,  and  of  the  more  eastern  Asiatics, 
including  those  seemingly  ever  living  nations,  China  and  Japan. 

The  following  catalogue  was  prepared  by  Dr.  Spiers,  and 
differs,  in  some  particulars,  from  the  usual  methods  of  cata- 
loguing coins.  They  are  not  classified  in  the  old  style,  but 
placed  in  glass-covered  cases,  on  black  velvet  ground,  according 
to  size,  without  regard  to  nationality  or  date,  so  as  to  preserve 
a  uniformity  in  the  cases.  Each  case  and  coin  being  numbered, 
a  description  will  be  readily  found  in  the  printed  list. 

The  orthography  authorized  by  the  government  at  the  time 
these  coins  and  medals  were  issued  is  copied  in  the  catalogue. 

Various  opinions  of  coin  experts  and  numismatologists 
could  be  adduced  as  to  the  value  of  this  collection,  but  it  is 
considered  only  necessary  to  give  the  opinion  of  Dr.  Linderman, 
the  Director  of  the  United  States  Mint. 

At  the  request  of  Wm.  S.  O'Brien,  Esq.,  on  behalf  of  the 
committee  on  coins.  Dr.  Linderman,  while  in  San  Francisco 
last  January,  examined  this  collection,  then  at  Pioneer  Hall. 
The  Doctor  said  that  "he  had  seen  the  numismatic  collections 
in  the  mints  and  museums  of  Paris  and  London,  and  was 
familiar  with  the  extensive  collection  in  the  Philadelphia  Mint; 
but  he  pronounced  this  collection  as  surpassing,  in  rarity, 
antiqueness,  and  beauty  of  specimens,  any  collection  he  had 
ever  seen.  He  expressed  the  opinion  that  such  a  rare  and 
valuable  collection  ought  to  be  secured  by  the  United  States 
Government,  and  placed  in  the  mint  at  San  Francisco,  as  this 
establishment  is  now  one  of  the  most  important  in  the  world." 

The  appreciation  in  the  value  of  coins  is  one  of  the  most 
singular  features  in  history.  Why  should  a  silver  coin  that  is 
known  to  be  worth  only  one  hundred  cents  in  copper,  sell 
for  a  hundred  or  a  thousand  times  its  intrinsic  value?  For 
example,  case  number  28  contains  52  silver  dollars,  representing 
every  coinage  of  the  silver  dollar  by  our  Government  since 
1794  to  the  present  time.     The  coinage  of  ISO-l  is  the  rarest 


INTRODUCTION'  O 

and  most  valuable.  The  coin  quotation  sales  show  that  this 
dollar  has  sold  at  auction  at  five  different  times  within  the 
last  sixteen  vears  at  prices  as  follows:  $325,  $440,  $860, 
$700,  and  $1,400. 

Nearly  every  government  in  Europe  and  Asia  has  a  collection 
of  coins. 

•  Our  Government  has  no  collection  at  Washington  City. 
There  are  many  private  collections  in  the  United  States,  and 
this  one  made  b}^  Dr.  Spiers  is  considered  one  of  the  best  and 
most  desirable.  It  is  the  result  of  a  lifetime  of  labor  and 
travel. 

The  Doctor  has  transferred  this  collection  to  the  Pioneers, 
considering  the  transfer  entirely  in  the  nature  of  a  donation. 

Knowing  that  Pioneer  Hall  is  not  fire-proof,  the  Committee 
on  Coins,  pursuant  to  instruction  from  the  Board  of  Directors, 
obtained  permission  from  General  La  Grange,  the  present 
Superintendent  of  the  United  States  ]\Iint  in  this  city,  to  deposit 
this  collection  temporarily  in  the  mint  for  safe  keeping.  A 
room  was  very  kindly  appropriated  for  their  use,  where  they 
can  be  seen  b}''  the  Pioneers  and  the  public  during  office  hours. 

The  coins  in  the  cases  numbered  from  29  to  36  inclusive, 
belonged  to  the  Pioneers  before  the  acquisition  of  the  Spiers 
collection. 

By  order  of  the  Society  of  California  Pioneers. 
San  Francisco,  July  26th,  1877. 


INTRODUCTION 

to  Edition  of  1909 


The  introduction  to  the  catalogue  issued  in  1877  refers  only 
to  the  collection  of  Dr.  Spiers,  which  Dr.  Linderman,  for 
years  Director  of  the  Mint,  stated  was  the  finest  collection  he 
had  ever  seen. 

Since  that  time  the  large  collection  of  C.  T.  Ward,  Jr.,  and 
other  smaller  collections  have  been  added. 

A  well  known  expert  after  examining  the  collection  in  1908, 
stated  that  a  good  many  of  the  coins  were  the  only  ones  of 
their  kind  in  existence.
